(1,1'-Biphenyl)-2-ol → HCID 19776530, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (3.3 mL, 23.7 mmol) is added dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere to a solution of 2-phenylphenol (5.0 g, 29.3 mmol) and octyl isocyanate (5.5 g, 35.5 mmol) in 75 mL of methylene chloride. After the addition, the solution is stirred overnight at room temperature. The solution is washed with 1N HCl, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give 10.09 g of a tan solid. Recrystallization from diisopropyl ether-hexane gives the title compound as a white crystalline solid (6.88 g, 72%), mp 59°-60° C.
